Partners for Change (P4C) Network

Joint Advocacy for a Food Secure, Resilient and Sustainable Future

Germany is the world’s largest donor in the fight against hunger and a key actor in shaping global agendas for the transformation of agricultural and food systems. Partners for Change (P4C) is the central network for political partners and implementers within the BMZ core theme “Life Without Hunger – Transformation of Agricultural and Food Systems.” As an international multi-stakeholder network, P4C connects practical implementation experiences with global policy processes to promote more equitable, sustainable, and resilient agricultural and food systems, with the goal of enabling a life in dignity for all people. The network brings together partners from more than 40 countries across governments, civil society, academia, the private sector, and international organisations.

Elevating Soil Health for a Sustainable Future

Whether in the supermarket or online shop – most of the products we use every day have travelled a long way, which is usually not visible to us consumers. This makes it all the more important to make the people and the conditions under which they work visible.
